s2r 1000 suspension not that impressive?

[aaronb]

Since i'm a tic over 200 lbs I had to have the suspension resprung ( much thanks to Nick @ Valley Ducati Service). I'd say a must for anyone over 130 lbs 

Racetech internals (springs, valves) on the front end and new spring on the rear. Now a much better ride with plenty of adjustability- stock front end was max'd out on preload before internal swap.

what rate rear spring did you get?  i am 215 w/ gear and plan on re-spring-ing soon.

Thanks for the kind words guys. 

I assume you have the matching Arai helmet?

 Yes, yes I do. 

 The paint on the bike is actually a loose interpretation of the helmet. I saw a review from one of the Euro bike mags a few years ago and saw the Italian flag helmet and I had to have it.

Okay, seriously, your bike is in 9 kabillion threads on the board.  When are we just going to make it a sticky?

 Hey, I only provide when I'm asked. 

 The sticky idea does have some merit though.

No problems with my suspension either. 



No seriously get the right spring rate it makes a big difference.  Then get some ohlins.  Also makes a nice difference.
